Dear Djpas,
I had an identical reading of this tea and as I am coming to the bottom of my box I am at a loss for a replacement. Would you have any other teas that come to mind with this flavor profile?
Wet basement, stones, dirt, cave are my favorite, and seemingly difficult flavors to find.

Thank you!!

Nice astringency in the beginning, moving to a nice candy cottong after taste but sadly not holding on too long.
After 5th/6th steep its game over

It starts relatively bitter, if brewed hard and starts to go to the sirupy sweet direction, after the 3rd/4th steep
